hi every one, Im linny eliot from Wales (47), have just got back from Fetiye having agreed to buy a property in overcik area. This is a great website and wish I had discovered it earlier. Have any other members bought in the same area ? Would really welcome some feedback.

Hi eliot
We bought an apartment last june, its on the Olive Grove complex in Ovacik, We shall be visiting several times this year, hopefully. Where in Ovacik have you decided to buy ?. I am sure you will find the people on this site both friendly and helpful, the site is also full of interesting information. :)

Thanks for reply, The house is a new build its one of the Hannel houses on the main hisonaru rd, Xanthos villas (sorry if im spellin wrong. Im buying through Lagoon estates and I can tell you at the price it a scarey venture. Im hoping someone can put my mind at rest on this site.
-
Hi Eliot, welcome to the site. I am hoping to buy somewhere in Calis soon,after reading all the nice things people have been saying about it on this website.
-
Hiya Sue, yep its a brilliant site The people on here seem to be extremely friendly and helpful. Im very nervous at the moment, like I said Ive agreed on quite a large sum for the house and I suppose Im doing the Brit thing of worrying. I have to be honest this is the first time I have had to have faith in a totally unknown procedure and I feel like sitting with everything crossed,hoping that everything goes smoothly

Hi eliot
Welcome aboard, Ovacik types are very welcome here.
You have bought from one of the biggest builder companies in the the region, I doubt you have anything to worry about - I'm sure it won't stop you worrying because it's a lot of money ;)
We sell their properties too so we know them very well indeed, and they are both fine and upstanding.

Hi, Eliot
We are also buying a property from Hanel, but on their Lissa Park complex in Calis. So far, no problems at all. We have found them to be extremely professional and helpful, and the general concensus of local opinion seems to be that they are one of the largest and best developers in the area.

Thanx Scunner,
I feel a little better but cant help wondering if it would of been better to buy direct from hanel and not thro agent, Would this of been possible) was only there one week but had agreed to buy within two days, so Im realizing I was probably a little reckless

Hi eliot
Welcome to the site.
The only thing you have to worry about is, "will you be able to go back to Wales once you have stayed in your new property".

You make a good point but I think its going to be harder having to rent it out to make the income I need of it.

Hi Eliot, congratulations on your purchase, I too am from Wales, sister of Patty and I think 95% of the people on this site know what you are going through. It is a scary procedure, but it is worth the "white knuckle ride" in the end. We are 100% glad we bought our property in Turkey, it was the best thing we ever did, and the most scariest, but it worked out great for us, and for everyone else on this site. Well done, keep us all up to date on whats going on, besides being a friednly lot here on the site, we are also a nosey lot.
Regards
Helen

Helo Eliot, nice to know that we are neighbours here in Wales ( we come from Pwllheli) and in Turkey - our place is in Calis, Regards, Georgina
-
thanx for the encouragment its nice to know everything worked out wel for you both and that Im not as alone as perhaps I first thought. I dont mind if you lot are nosey, that just makes us a nosey lot together ) speaking of which, where abouts did you buy ? is it anywhere near overcik.

Hiya Georgina..
Thats great.. :)
Theres nearly about the same distance in it too, only differnce is I can get a train here to Pwllheli, never did get to try the dolmus in turkey, I know you will probably say I hav'nt lived yet ) Maybe when I go back sometime April or May.
How often are you in calis and will you be going to this party in May that Ive been reading about on here..?

Hia, the party ? the thought does wet the appetite to say the vey least. We have have a place in calis, and we are going in July. May ? party ?? it would be great but not sure yet . Takes a bit of organising i.e work, dogs etc etc . How about you are you planning on going ?
-
Hi Eliot, we have bought a property between Calis and Fethiye, just off the main road in Akarca Mah and yes we will definately be over for the May Bash, are there from 7th to 21st May and then again from end of August for 3 weeks, maybe see you there.
Helen

Hello again Georgina, sorry its taken for ever for me to reply, I hadnt realized that You had posted a message. Apologies, Im hopingI will make this party. Im waiting for army approval and then I can procede with the purchase and that will mean going back to Turkey either late april or early May.

HI Nelliedeen,
Apologies for delay in replying to your message, Im glad your going to the bash and all im waiting for now is the go ahead off the estate agent and then it will be all systems go for a trip out to Turkey to kit the place out, so a bit of a party sounds really good to me.
Hope to see you there.

Hi Eliot, glad to hear that everything is going according to plan, we may be meeting up yet.
Helen
Also Karees we are from Cardiff, I take it you are from Wales as well. A big welcome to you too.
-
hello eliot
most of the forum members have brought property
and know how youre feeling but well done
as long as you can afford your home, there is no place like it,
we all have sent our hard earned cash over to turkey, with crossed fingers, you have to have faith
you get what you wanted as i say, you will have a little piece of paradise
-
Hi Eliot, it's a bit late to welcome you to the forum but the important thing is that all is going well with your purchase. As many other members of the forum must have said, you will not regret it for one minute once you have done everything. By the way, I may be born English but I lived in Cardigan from the age of 5 to 15.
Best Wishes
Pete (and Sue)

Hi Helen
Was just doing a search on Akarca Mah because that's part of the address of the property we are buying. Is there anything you can tell me about that area please? and is Akarca Mah the area or the road name? I know it's in Gunlakbasi....also is your place near the "Bird Sanctuary" because that's where our new place is. Thanks for your help. Julie...xxx 8)
